Finally, Reverence have delivered the album they always had in them. A richly veiled exercise of varied, deeply textured, winding and intelligent modern black metal, deriving influence from contemporaries Deathspell Omega and Blut Aus Nord but ultimately creating something all their own.

At this moment in time Reverence truly embody and exemplify the sound of French black metal.

I can understand spotting a riff and saying "this sounds like so and so", but most typical black metal vocals sound similar enough and comparing bands based on a single riff from one song is a bit of a stretch if you ask me.

Far be it from me to tell you whether or not how you compare bands is "right" or not - I just think it's odd to base similarities on something so insignificant.

I can see your point. You need to pat me on top of my head like a little child and say I need more black metal experiance, young one. I will compare all black metal to Enslaved cause they are the only ones in my discography (practically).

Written by InnerSelf on 06.05.2012 at 23:29There is a (little little) bit of Enslaved, but it's there nonetheless

Where?

The way the riffs progress and the keyboards in the background in Cold Room and Those Who Believed sound a bit similar Enslaved's songwriting, but don't get me wrong if someone asks me to name bands that are similar to Reverence I wouldn't mention Enslaved at all. I'm just saying that there are some Enslaved moments
